About the name Rocky
Rocky belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Rocky first appears in Social Security records in 1913. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #240 in 1955, and in 2024 418 babies received the name — 28,164 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
